J. is going down to TREASURE THOVE. Untold Millions Plugged in Walls and Sunk in Lakes. Why Mexico Can Truthfully Be Called the Eldorado of Treasure Hunters— Gold and Silver Hidden from View in Old Structures. The cupidity of the Spaniards who landed with Cortez upon the shores of Mexico was first incited by the golden trinkets which the Indians brought to them to exchange for European tawdry, says the Two Republics. It was the love of the precious metals that lea them to deeds of bravery far eclipsing any thing of modern years and equaling the exploits of the olden knights. Tire history of the torture of Montezuma for the purpose of ascertaining the point where the kingly treasure of millions upon millions in golden jewelry was buried substantiates the fact of the real object of the Spaniards in conquering the valley of the Anahuac. Historians lay great stress upon the riches in precious metals of the rulers of the several. empires, .but more particularly upon the great wealth of Montezuma of theGrand Tenochtitlan, the present city of Mexico. In the description of the jewelry and other objects from the skillful hands of the Aztec mhetatworkers one is transported to the wildest scope of imagination verging beyond the wonderful tales of the miraculous pieces of mechanism detailed in the “Ara bian Nights.’’ The golden bird with tem{. pered pieces of metal to give it the exact eclored plumage of the natural bird which it represented and the contrivance to make it sing, the chameleon lizard in gold and in the varied hues of nature, are some of the objects found by Cortez and his companions m_the Aztec capital. Where was this vast treasure of wealth, which, it is claimed, exceeded any thing then possessed by any European monarch, buried? Some say it was buried beneath the waters of Lake Ti and others claim on the present site dbtue Iturbide Hotel. Wherever it was stored, its hiding place still remains dead to the world. Probably in no other country in the universe is there more buried treasure than in Mexico. Nearly every week cases of unearthing . treasures are reported in some part of the Republic. Banks in Mexico are of recent origin, which fact, with the former insecurity from revolutions, probably in a measure accounts for the present finding of so much coin and jeweiry. The custom of sinking money under bricks in the floors and plugging it in holes in the walls commenced with the occupation of the country by the Spaniards. Even until to-day the custom is in voguein many parts of Mexico. Unhke most nations, the Mexicans, asarule, hold what they jaccumulate, not investing 1t in enterprises when there are auy great risks of loss. Little by little large capitals are acquired, and are sunk in the earth or are plugged up in walls, and many times are forever jost to the world. Two years ago a treasure was found while making repairs in the Conception Church Without doubt the largest and most valuable treasures are still hidden from view in the churches, old convents and monasteries in this city. The Catholic church was the wealthiest institution in Mexico, as the silver rails and rich ornaments still to be seen in the temples of God in the Aztec capital attest. The frequent revolutions with which Mexico was cursed un to twelve years. ago made it a necessity for the priestg to have secret vaults to store the . ornaments of the wax images, the service . of the church and the tithes.“ That by Rufus Shoemaker of the Telegraph “death, sudden departures and other causes, is a candidate for election as a member of the Board of Trustees of that town. Heis an old-time resident of the place . and hzs, athorough understanding of the vaults with their treasures ‘in time should have been lost to the world is not miraculous. : The latest discovery of a treasure has just been made in this city. A woman of advanced years has lived for a short time its wants. “He, like Editor Hocking _ ina room in the old Regina convent, on of the Tidings, who has been serving! Regina street.

Music and cards were the principal amusement until midnight,when the guests were invited to the dining room where a fine supper wus served. After supper the young folka enjoyed themselves dancing till a late hour when they returned home, delighted with the evening’s entertainmént and votnig Miss Clara a splendid hostess.

The old lady continued living in the room,however,and soon after made another excavation in the wall, in which she discovered a sealed olla (earthen jar). She broke it, and in it discovered forty or fifty dollars in gold coins, a reliquary in which was the wax bust of a monk on which was a hardly legible inscription, and moreover some documents or deeds to houses, and one telling of a hidden treasure, with all descriptions where it is to be found. This time the old woman did not tel] the charitabie person of her discovery. She went and consulted a Mr. Balandrano, to whom she took all the documents found with the exception of the one telling of the place where the treasure was hidden. It is said that Mr. Noriega, who learned of the discovery made by the old woman, purchased the land where the treasure is supposed to be buried, and has already commenced hunting for it. CHINESE GAMBLERS. A Description of Fan Tan as Played by the Pigtails of Los Angeles. Fan tan is a very simple game and is very fair. There seems to be no opportunity to Cheat. The dealer, says the Los Angeles Amervan Paradise, takes his seat on the bench and opens the game. He is a thickset Chinaman, with a broad and repulsive face. He wears a dull and sleepy expression from excessive opium-smoking, but he is far from stupid. He conducts himself with great dignity, and looks with a haughty glance at the wash-men and gamblers who crowd about the board, anxiously waiting for the game to open. He takes a bag of “cash” from the pocket of his blouse and draws a long, tapering wand trom the ample folds of his sleeve. ‘He draws from another pocket a metal cover which looks like the cover of a butter which covers the table. In the middle of the tabie just under the gas jet isa square painted on the matting. The lamp or gas jet is covered with a tin screen which shields the eyes of the dealer and throws the rays of light directly on the center of the table. This is the only light in the room. The effect is a peculiar one. The dealer opens his bag and empties his pile of cash On the table. He takes a handful from it and places them on the matting near the square and covers them with the metal cover referred to. The bets are then made, the thoney wagered being placed. on the different corners of jhe square. The dealer then takes up his long wand, and with a point dexterously draws out four coins atatime. The number left after be has drawn out the last four *‘cash” dish. All these he places on the matting . . Worth Reading ! WM.

FRANKLIN. “Once the question was, ‘Cana Christian man rightfully seek Life Insurarce ?’ The question now is, ‘Can a Christian man justify himself in neglecting such a duty?’ ""—HENRY WARD BEECHER. Such is the dicta of two of America’s greatest minds—one speakiug to us from the age of patriotism, the other from the age of progress. In the wonderful mutations of business and science which the past half century has witnessed, it may be urged that neither the application of scientific discovery to the establishing of a higher civilization, nor the effects of iiberal economic laws, nor of laws feciliteting commercial and fiuancial exchange, have’ been a8 wonderful as the progress in the science of Life Insurance or as beneficial to the human race. Thirtv years azo a man who applied for an Insurance policy, besides conveying tu his neighbors unpleasant suspicious of his mental decay, had a rather hard bargain on his hands. Every clause of his policy ws irsno-clad in favor of the Company It was a purely Die to Win Game,» And not only die to win, but you had to die ‘jest so.” Step into Florida, parts of Louisiana and Texas; go to sea—and a whole let-of,other places too numerous to mentiou—und you were either charsed au extra-rate for-your cussedness, of your policy became wort! less in the event of death. Errors or misstatements in yuur application and your medical examination subjected you tu the horrible possibility of paying in a lot of money and wiuding up “in the soup.” Your annual premiums must be paid according to the strict letter of the law; on the stroke of the clock, us it was stated in the policy. One hour, yea, one minute, and your savings of years have been swallowed up by the ravenous monster. q Well, all this has changed, and today the man who, having a family does not proud ly wave aloft his Insurauce policy, announces hinself, as behind the times, mentally weak, morally improvidentif not viciously selfisb, and if he have the appearance of good health his extraordinar) neglect to dothd seusibie th*ig by himselt and family may arouse in his youd neighbors the terrible suspicion that he is the “whited sepulchre” of some loathsome and hidden diseuse, Today your Insurance policy is one of the Simplest [Promises to Pay Known-—to—lezgal~ or business “forms: Tt simply says, “Pay your premiums and we will pay your insurance. ”’ Look atyour lovely wife and your beau tiful children. Look at your widowed mother, the hand that cared fo~ you in the hours of your weakness, a.d is now resting gently upon you, and remember every hour that passes now is hurrying you alung tu your end, Take advantage of what Science and ceu turies of experience have placed in your reach by Iusurance. To that lovely wife. to those prattling innocents, fo that saintly form whose eyes, lacking the lustre of youth, and hair white with the frost. of tion to duty. Give to these, we say, the tend beyond he grave. If you go to South American mines, to South African diamond fields or to partake ofthe succulent orange on its natiye Floridian heath—we'l, we guess you'll be a litte more careful of youself than when breathing the pure air, and attending to your routine labor at home in the pine clad Sierras. Should you take a policy today, and in a few years Your Pay-gravel is worked out, Well, we won’t throw you overboard. You have acquired an equity, “proportioned to your payments, in your policy, aud that we will give you most cheerfully. But when an Insurance Company says to you—as does the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York—“My friend, I am forty years of age and in my day have seen many great financial panics which have shuken the thrones of princes and tottered your Banks and your Railroads, but at no time in my life has any creditor of mine had slightest ‘cause to fear my stability, securély iu America, and you will find that the ‘promise to pay’ signed by your own Government, is the only bond in the market rated ag hiore sound and staple than myown.” ttaving acquired this informaTreasury should call on you today ani say: ‘The Government would iike to sell you bonds for any amount between $1,000 and to make the investment at once, we will allow you to pay for the bonds in ten equul annua, installments !* And suppose iu to make this the most desirable investment in the world, sheuld stipulate in the bund not only to piy them atthe end of the term, but in case of your previous death, to pay them to your family, and at the same time release your family from paying any further money, would you not at once el se with such-an offer? And yet this is practically what the Manhattan Life Insurance Company,of New York, has done and is dving. An ordinary endowment Life Insurance policy is a More profitable investment than a Government Bond. A Four per cent U. 8. Bond for $10,000, at the present average premium costs about #1/.000, Intwenty-five years time it would amount, priucipal and interest. to’ $20,0u0, The same sum of $12,0.0 will secure a paid np Endowment policy due the same time for over $27,000. This {s a $7,000 better return than the Government Bond, with the grent added advantage, that in case of his death atany time during the interim, the iusured man’s family would at once receive: the whole $27,000. The Manhattan Life Insurance Company during the past twenty-five years has paid nearly $3,000,000 in death claims and endowment policies on the Pacific Coast without a contest. No company. has a better guarantee to offer of liberal and just treatment of future policy holders.

J. is going down to TREASURE THOVE. Untold Millions Plugged in Walls and Sunk in Lakes. Why Mexico Can Truthfully Be Called the Eldorado of Treasure Hunters— Gold and Silver Hidden from View in Old Structures. The cupidity of the Spaniards who landed with Cortez upon the shores of Mexico was first incited by the golden trinkets which the Indians brought to them to exchange for European tawdry, says the Two Republics. It was the love of the precious metals that lea them to deeds of bravery far eclipsing any thing of modern years and equaling the exploits of the olden knights. Tire history of the torture of Montezuma for the purpose of ascertaining the point where the kingly treasure of millions upon millions in golden jewelry was buried substantiates the fact of the real object of the Spaniards in conquering the valley of the Anahuac. Historians lay great stress upon the riches in precious metals of the rulers of the several. empires, .but more particularly upon the great wealth of Montezuma of theGrand Tenochtitlan, the present city of Mexico. In the description of the jewelry and other objects from the skillful hands of the Aztec mhetatworkers one is transported to the wildest scope of imagination verging beyond the wonderful tales of the miraculous pieces of mechanism detailed in the “Ara bian Nights.’’ The golden bird with tem{. pered pieces of metal to give it the exact eclored plumage of the natural bird which it represented and the contrivance to make it sing, the chameleon lizard in gold and in the varied hues of nature, are some of the objects found by Cortez and his companions m_the Aztec capital. Where was this vast treasure of wealth, which, it is claimed, exceeded any thing then possessed by any European monarch, buried? Some say it was buried beneath the waters of Lake Ti and others claim on the present site dbtue Iturbide Hotel. Wherever it was stored, its hiding place still remains dead to the world. Probably in no other country in the universe is there more buried treasure than in Mexico. Nearly every week cases of unearthing . treasures are reported in some part of the Republic. Banks in Mexico are of recent origin, which fact, with the former insecurity from revolutions, probably in a measure accounts for the present finding of so much coin and jeweiry. The custom of sinking money under bricks in the floors and plugging it in holes in the walls commenced with the occupation of the country by the Spaniards. Even until to-day the custom is in voguein many parts of Mexico. Unhke most nations, the Mexicans, asarule, hold what they jaccumulate, not investing 1t in enterprises when there are auy great risks of loss. Little by little large capitals are acquired, and are sunk in the earth or are plugged up in walls, and many times are forever jost to the world. Two years ago a treasure was found while making repairs in the Conception Church Without doubt the largest and most valuable treasures are still hidden from view in the churches, old convents and monasteries in this city. The Catholic church was the wealthiest institution in Mexico, as the silver rails and rich ornaments still to be seen in the temples of God in the Aztec capital attest. The frequent revolutions with which Mexico was cursed un to twelve years. ago made it a necessity for the priestg to have secret vaults to store the . ornaments of the wax images, the service . of the church and the tithes.“ That by Rufus Shoemaker of the Telegraph “death, sudden departures and other causes, is a candidate for election as a member of the Board of Trustees of that town. Heis an old-time resident of the place . and hzs, athorough understanding of the vaults with their treasures ‘in time should have been lost to the world is not miraculous. : The latest discovery of a treasure has just been made in this city. A woman of advanced years has lived for a short time its wants. “He, like Editor Hocking _ ina room in the old Regina convent, on of the Tidings, who has been serving! Regina street.

The old lady continued living in the room,however,and soon after made another excavation in the wall, in which she discovered a sealed olla (earthen jar). She broke it, and in it discovered forty or fifty dollars in gold coins, a reliquary in which was the wax bust of a monk on which was a hardly legible inscription, and moreover some documents or deeds to houses, and one telling of a hidden treasure, with all descriptions where it is to be found. This time the old woman did not tel] the charitabie person of her discovery. She went and consulted a Mr. Balandrano, to whom she took all the documents found with the exception of the one telling of the place where the treasure was hidden. It is said that Mr. Noriega, who learned of the discovery made by the old woman, purchased the land where the treasure is supposed to be buried, and has already commenced hunting for it. CHINESE GAMBLERS. A Description of Fan Tan as Played by the Pigtails of Los Angeles. Fan tan is a very simple game and is very fair. There seems to be no opportunity to Cheat. The dealer, says the Los Angeles Amervan Paradise, takes his seat on the bench and opens the game. He is a thickset Chinaman, with a broad and repulsive face. He wears a dull and sleepy expression from excessive opium-smoking, but he is far from stupid. He conducts himself with great dignity, and looks with a haughty glance at the wash-men and gamblers who crowd about the board, anxiously waiting for the game to open. He takes a bag of “cash” from the pocket of his blouse and draws a long, tapering wand trom the ample folds of his sleeve. ‘He draws from another pocket a metal cover which looks like the cover of a butter which covers the table. In the middle of the tabie just under the gas jet isa square painted on the matting. The lamp or gas jet is covered with a tin screen which shields the eyes of the dealer and throws the rays of light directly on the center of the table. This is the only light in the room. The effect is a peculiar one. The dealer opens his bag and empties his pile of cash On the table. He takes a handful from it and places them on the matting near the square and covers them with the metal cover referred to. The bets are then made, the thoney wagered being placed. on the different corners of jhe square. The dealer then takes up his long wand, and with a point dexterously draws out four coins atatime. The number left after be has drawn out the last four *‘cash” dish. All these he places on the matting . . Worth Reading ! WM.

FRANKLIN. “Once the question was, ‘Cana Christian man rightfully seek Life Insurarce ?’ The question now is, ‘Can a Christian man justify himself in neglecting such a duty?’ ""—HENRY WARD BEECHER. Such is the dicta of two of America’s greatest minds—one speakiug to us from the age of patriotism, the other from the age of progress. In the wonderful mutations of business and science which the past half century has witnessed, it may be urged that neither the application of scientific discovery to the establishing of a higher civilization, nor the effects of iiberal economic laws, nor of laws feciliteting commercial and fiuancial exchange, have’ been a8 wonderful as the progress in the science of Life Insurance or as beneficial to the human race. Thirtv years azo a man who applied for an Insurance policy, besides conveying tu his neighbors unpleasant suspicious of his mental decay, had a rather hard bargain on his hands.. Every clause of his policy ws irsno-clad in favor of the Company It was a purely Die to Win Game,» And not only die to win, but you had to die ‘jest so.” Step into Florida, parts of Louisiana and Texas; go to sea—and a whole let-of,other places too numerous to mentiou—und you were either charsed au extra-rate for-your cussedness, of your policy became wort! less in the event of death. Errors or misstatements in yuur application and your medical examination subjected you tu the horrible possibility of paying in a lot of money and wiuding up “in the soup.” Your annual premiums must be paid according to the strict letter of the law; on the stroke of the clock, us it was stated in the policy. One hour, yea, one minute, and your savings of years have been swallowed up by the ravenous monster. q Well, all this has changed, and today the man who, having a family does not proud ly wave aloft his Insurauce policy, announces hinself, as behind the times, mentally weak, morally improvidentif not viciously selfisb, and if he have the appearance of good health his extraordinar) neglect to dothd seusibie th*ig by himselt and family may arouse in his youd neighbors the terrible suspicion that he is the “whited sepulchre” of some loathsome and hidden diseuse, Today your Insurance policy is one of the Simplest [Promises to Pay Known-—to—lezgal~ or business “forms: Tt simply says, “Pay your premiums and we will pay your insurance. ”’ Look atyour lovely wife and your beau tiful children. Look at your widowed mother, the hand that cared fo~ you in the hours of your weakness, a.d is now resting gently upon you, and remember every hour that passes now is hurrying you alung tu your end, Take advantage of what Science and ceu turies of experience have placed in your reach by Iusurance. To that lovely wife. to those prattling innocents, fo that saintly form whose eyes, lacking the lustre of youth, and hair white with the frost. of tion to duty. Give to these, we say, the tend beyond he grave. If you go to South American mines, to South African diamond fields or to partake ofthe succulent orange on its natiye Floridian heath—we'l, we guess you'll be a litte more careful of youself than when breathing the pure air, and attending to your routine labor at home in the pine clad Sierras. Should you take a policy today, and in a few years Your Pay-gravel is worked out, Well, we won’t throw you overboard. You have acquired an equity, “proportioned to your payments, in your policy, aud that we will give you most cheerfully. But when an Insurance Company says to you—as does the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York—“My friend, I am forty years of age and in my day have seen many great financial panics which have shuken the thrones of princes and tottered your Banks and your Railroads, but at no time in my life has any creditor of mine had slightest ‘cause to fear my stability, securély iu America, and you will find that the ‘promise to pay’ signed by your own Government, is the only bond in the market rated ag hiore sound and staple than myown.” ttaving acquired this informaTreasury should call on you today ani say: ‘The Government would iike to sell you bonds for any amount between $1,000 and to make the investment at once, we will allow you to pay for the bonds in ten equul annua, installments !* And suppose iu to make this the most desirable investment in the world, sheuld stipulate in the bund not only to piy them atthe end of the term, but in case of your previous death, to pay them to your family, and at the same time release your family from paying any further money, would you not at once el se with such-an offer? And yet this is practically what the Manhattan Life Insurance Company,of New York, has done and is dving. An ordinary endowment Life Insurance policy is a More profitable investment than a Government Bond. A Four per cent U. 8. Bond for $10,000, at the present average premium costs about #1/.000, Intwenty-five years time it would amount, priucipal and interest. to’ $20,0u0, The same sum of $12,0.0 will secure a paid np Endowment policy due the same time for over $27,000. This {s a $7,000 better return than the Government Bond, with the grent added advantage, that in case of his death atany time during the interim, the iusured man’s family would at once receive: the whole $27,000. The Manhattan Life Insurance Company during the past twenty-five years has paid nearly $3,000,000 in death claims and endowment policies on the Pacific Coast without a contest. No company. has a better guarantee to offer of liberal and just treatment of future policy holders.
